But no matter how good-looking someone is, they only have their youth. After that period, their appearance will be greatly diminished. In Ningcheng, the Qin family can only be considered a third-rate family. They are neither good nor bad, just in a mediocre position.
Finally, a wealthy young master from a second-rate family took a liking to her, and Qin Junyao's mother was naturally happy to play matchmaker, even though the man was very rude and spoke to people with his eyes closed. Qin Junyao's mother didn't mind.
Perhaps through this relationship, the Qin family can rise to a higher level and become a second-tier family.
Qin Junyao was naturally unwilling. It wasn't that no one wanted her; she just didn't want to. To talk about marriage with someone she didn't even have any affection for was not what she wanted at all, let alone anything like happiness.
So regardless of her mother's orders last night, or her own wishes, the reason she came here today was to tell that person that their relationship was absolutely impossible.
After listening to Qin Junyao's explanation, Luo Chen stroked his chin and understood why Xi Xi had tricked him into coming here; it turned out she was here to act as a shield.
But shouldn't things like this only happen to the main characters?
It actually happened to him.
In the main text of the book, Qin Junyao is a surgeon who has some relationship with the protagonist, but she is defined as a female supporting character, not the female lead. There are not many parts about her, but her personality is described.
She doesn't like dating and has no interest in it. She's become numb to it all day and can't muster any interest. If she were to go on a date, it would probably turn into a doctor seeing a patient.
In any case, among all the things Luo Chen knew, the only person who seemed to have a good relationship with Qin Junyao was Ye Lin. Since Ye Lin also knew medicine, the two got along quite well due to their shared interests.
As for what happened next, Luo Chen didn't know, because he was already gone by then.
"So, the reason you called my boss over is to play the role of your boyfriend?" Raphael said at this moment.
"No, I didn't. I don't know him at all," Qin Junyao quickly denied.
Xi Xi raised her little hand: "It was Xi Xi who called. Because Xi Xi was worried that her sister would really agree, so Xi Xi was very scared. If her brother-in-law is so ugly, Xi Xi will have nightmares."
What kind of nonsense is this!
Everyone looked at Xixi.
The real reason she felt sorry for her sister wasn't to help her escape her misery, but rather because her brother-in-law was too ugly and was affecting her sleep.
Noticing the strange look in Qin Junyao's eyes, Xixi panicked and quickly explained, "Sister, Xixi really wants brother to help you. Because Xixi knows that you don't like that person, and Xixi doesn't like him either, so I thought of having big brother come over and pretend to be your boyfriend so that you have an excuse to refuse."
"Besides, my older brother is so handsome. If Xixi weren't still so young, how could I bear to let him be my brother-in-law?" Xixi said this very softly.
Qin Junyao didn't hold it against Xixi. Instead, she looked at Luo Chen apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, my sister is so immature. She actually wanted you to come and help me."
"It's okay. I like Xixi quite a bit too. Even if she's not really in danger, I'll help her if I can."
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi's big eyes immediately lit up.
"Big brother, do you really like Xixi?"
"I like it." Luo Chen nodded without thinking much. He really liked children, especially their innocence and carefree nature, which he envied.
It's a happy childhood memory, no matter how you look at it.
But when it came to Xixi, she lowered her head shyly.
She murmured to herself, "So big brother likes Xixi so much. Xixi needs to grow up quickly so that it can be rightfully hers."
Raphael mimicked Luo Chen by touching his chin: "I don't think it's appropriate for my boss to do this, given his status."
Luo Chen looked over and agreed wholeheartedly.
What does it have to do with him to act as a shield? He's not the main character; doing something like that is beneath him.
Raphael is indeed a good secretary; it's a pity he's from the Dragon King's Palace.
Qin Junyao also strongly agreed with Raphael's words. The moment she saw Luo Chen, she knew that Luo Chen was no ordinary person. Putting aside his face, his temperament and cultivation all showed that Luo Chen was not an ordinary person. In addition, Luo Chen's surname was Luo.
Apart from the Luo family, which is the head of the four major families, there are no other people with the surname Luo in the entire Ningcheng.
Therefore, Luo Chen's identity is easy to guess, and doing such a thing is indeed unbecoming of his status.
"So what are your thoughts?" Qin Junyao asked Raphael.
"Isn't that simple..."
Raphael calmly picked up the menu, seemingly preparing to eat something.
"Wait for him to come over, and I'll help you."
"you?"
Looking at the beautiful and sweet foreign girl in front of her, Qin Junyao couldn't figure out how the other woman wanted to help her.
Raphael smiled, then handed the menu to Luo Chen and pointed to several dishes with his finger.
Luo Chen picked up the drink order form.
“Since you’re willing to help, let’s wait until we’re done. What kind of expression will they have when they see us eating?”
"What does that have to do with me? Wouldn't that be better?" Raphael blinked, then laughed, "Just kidding, boss. Don't worry, I'll make sure to complete the mission."
Raphael's change of expression was so fast that no one could react.
However, I didn't think too much about it. After all, there's a saying that goes, it's best not to try to guess a woman's thoughts, because you can never figure them out.
“Strange, we’re late, why hasn’t that guy arrived yet?” Raphael said, taking a sip of mango pomelo sago.
Qin Junyao was hoping the other party wouldn't come, so as to save herself some trouble; she didn't even bother to make a phone call.
Luo Chen was unconcerned, and Xi Xi sat comfortably in his lap, sipping her grape wine.
While everyone was still thinking about it...
Qin Junyao's phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Qin Junyao did not answer immediately.
Raphael glanced at it: "Aren't you going to answer?"
Qin Junyao remained silent, instinctively resisting the offer, but the subsequent troubles would give her a headache. Since Raphael had already said he would help, she might as well take this opportunity to be straightforward.
I answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
A cacophony of noise came from across the street, a jarring argument that made everyone frown.
"It's so noisy," Raphael muttered.
"Excuse me, Ms. Qin, there's a traffic jam on the way. I'm in the restroom right now, and there are people arguing next to me." The other person thought Raphael was Qin Junyao.
"What, you need to watch other people argue to have an appetite while you're eating in there?"
"???"
"What, is it still sticking to your teeth?"
"..."
The call was abruptly ended.
The group stared blankly at Raphael, completely stunned by his words.
Raphael blinked, puzzled. "Why did it hang up? Did I say something wrong?"
